Meatball Mixture

For Cooking

Method

Prepare the Meatball Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Form Meatballs

    Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to form meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cook the Meatballs

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Brown the Meatballs

    Add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the meatballs and set aside.

  3. 5

    Add Marinara Sauce

    In the same skillet, pour in the marinara sauce. Bring it to a simmer, then return the meatballs to the skillet, ensuring they are covered with the sauce.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Cover the skillet and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
